We constantly rely ON THE FOOT , and if this support is asymmetrical , incorrect , everything that is above it begins to collapse! so important in human health that all efforts aimed at building muscle can be useless if there are problems associated with the foot. You can deadlift lifting a 250-kilogram barbell , pulling up 150 times , but if you have problems with the arch of the foot , then all your incredible muscles stop working even with normal walking.
On the importance of foot health
The foot must be stabilized by certain muscles. All bones should be stabilized by good tibialis posterior tone. , stay in a specific place.
If at least one of them is displaced, it already resonates throughout the body. For example , your navicular bone has fallen, the shoulder also falls on the same side. The latissimus dorsi ceases to function either from one , or on both sides.
You start to treat the shoulder , which can really hurt , and nothing below will bother you. You will only pay attention to your shoulder. Therefore, it is so important to find the relationship between such things ( see fig.).
Stops that affect everything
There is nothing incredible about this. For example , if you build a house on a sloping surface , then you should not be surprised why it squinted or fell. Also with the feet: if you stand on "crooked" feet , it will not be a surprise if something sooner or later hurts you.
The displacement of the bones in the foot is one of the most important disorders that must be eliminated with treatment. If you keep foot problems , then everything that you have trained will weaken again after a while We constantly rely on the foot , and if this support is asymmetrical , incorrect , everything that is above it begins to collapse!
The foot consists of many small bones arranged in several rows. The largest of them are the heel and talus. The latter is located immediately above the calcaneus and forms, together with the tibia and fibula, the ankle joint.
The talus tends to move forward. The tibia and fibula , which form the so-called fork , form the ankle joint with the talus.
The tibialis posterior and fibula are held together by the tibialis posterior muscle , which reinforces the interosseous membrane.
When does tibialis posterior weakness occur?, the tibia and fibula begin to diverge to the sides, ankle instability occurs. The talus also loses its stability and moves forward. (see fig.).
Stops that affect everything
This causes weakness in the muscle that flexes the big toe and thus affects stride length.
If the step becomes shorter , all the muscles involved in the process of movement lose their tone to some . All of them simultaneously work with the extensor of the foot and with the extensor of the thumb. Therefore, problems can appear from this small muscle in any part of the body - both in the knee joint , and in the ankle joint , and even in the shoulder. All because of the asymmetry of the step when walking.
If we pick up a group of people who have a displacement of the talus on the right leg and ask to walk , then we can observe that their right foot step will be shorter than the left foot step.
If the same group of people is sent to the forest and left there , they will not be able to find their way home on their own. They will start walking in circles and eventually get lost , and all due to the fact that they have different stride lengths.
When there is weakness of the posterior tibial muscle , the tibia and fibula begin to diverge to the sides , instability of the ankle joint occurs. The talus also loses its stability and moves forward ( see figure).
